Reducing patients to stereotypes is removing their personal background and experiences.

Each patient is an individual, they have their own cares and concerns, but they are coming to you for help, hear them out.

It's Dignity!!!

Dignity and respect is very important to consider for patients.

Patients may not want to be open or honest with healthcare workers if they feel unsafe or disrespected.

When a patient feels like they're being talked over, or when they want their input to be acknowledged.

Not treating someone with dignity or respect will make you look like this.

Respect is part of a patient's care.

Imagine going to the hospital and you hear nurses making light of your condition?
